Bruceski posted:Doom created the Doomiverse (I think I'm not mixing stories up) by imprisoning a guy with reality-warping powers who's name I forget. That guy was put in the center of the earth or a pocket dimension or something, able to live forever but still hungry (insert Chrono Trigger reference here). When Miles found him he gave him a burger that had been in his pocket for weeks, and the guy was so grateful that when they won and set things right he changed the reset reality so Miles's parents were still alive. No you got it right, Doom created a patchwork universe from all the ones being destroyed using Molecule Man, who is hands-down the most powerful being in the Marvel books. If something can interact with the material world, then he can interact with that something.

Oh yeah it was also an 8 year and 3 week old burger. Edit: Molecule Man is fun as a guy who is just above it all now. Him inviting Galactus into his weird space house and having a chat with him was such a good scene. Galactus was actually nervous.

Also the reason Molecule Man was starving is that Doom was feeding him *just* enough to allow him to keep the Doom-verse together, but not enough to get any funny ideas. That hamburger from Miles was like a pigeon landing on the hood of a car teetering on the edge of cliff.

I thought Molecule Man was the other half to the incomplete cosmic cube that was the Beyonder and they merged or something?

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Wait, so back in the day, Purple Man was just a man wearing purple? That's somehow more grounded and far less outlandish than the current comic. No, his skin was purple, and seeing it is the vector of his power, or somehow linked to it, anyway. I really don't think "chemically treated plastic sheet" is supposed to be treated with particularly power-blocking chemicals.

Also that panel is from...I wanna say mid sixties if it's the intro issue? They didn't have great colour repro back then (e.g. why the hulk is green) so they probably toned down his skin so it wouldn't get lost in his clothes.

Speaking of Miles, I really hope the post-credits scene of the Spider-verse sequel is Spider-Man 2099 hurling a brick at Newspaper Spidey.

how on earth would mj know that this particular loose, unlabled plastic sheet that was on the floor of a closet has these specific properties? obviously, peter never told her about daredevil's ancient encounter with killgrave. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:she spends more time with peter than anyone else. so, mj seems smart and competent by comparison. but this has gone on for years, even in nsm time. so she just keeps getting smarter and more competent with every strip. she's on the cusp on omniscience

Killgrave has never been able to control himself, being forced to do so by a tarp is filling him with so much selfdoubt he's about to fling himself off the nearest rooftop.

No no, he did: So, even though I don't think Peter and MJ interacted since Pete first encountered Purps and he swapped out control of Cage for him, apparently Peter told her the weakness of a villain he hadn't met, unprompted. "You know MJ, Captain Nasty is allergic to nuts." "Shut up, Peter."

I don't care if there's some obscure comic book lore justifying all of this. It's utter nonsense and I feel like I'm dreaming.

freshlybaked posted:I don't care if there's some obscure comic book lore justifying all of this. It's utter nonsense and I feel like I'm dreaming. There actually isn't. It's that charming thing that happens in NSM where it seems like the person writing the strips is either half-remembering or being given very few details and just filling in some gaps. "Spider-Man created electronic beacons that act on the same frequency as his spider sense, so if nearby he can track their location based on feel!" turns into "Spider-Man apparently has a lojack installed and can be tracked at any time with a 'Spider Tracker.' Because a Spider Tracker would track the Spider, right?" "This guy has some kind of chemical based pheromone powers, covering him in a airtight sheet prevents him from controlling people!" turns into "When covered with sheets this guy literally explodes. That's how weaknesses work, right? "

No, he'll be fine. Look at panel 1--Peter saved Kilgrave's life by wrapping a protective web-noose around his neck.
